The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 82 Intimate
After this, the so-called "thinking about mistakes behind closed doors" became the emperor's order to say, "There are too many things to do in the New Year, so you might as well take a few more days off to avoid this."

——So Sydney rested until the [-]th of the first lunar month with peace of mind. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, I really felt sorry for having rested for half a month at the busiest time, so I went to help the Shangyuan Palace Banquet.

Sure enough, she was too busy to breathe that day, not only her, but also hundreds of people from the Imperial Dining Room, Shangshi Bureau, and Shangyi Bureau. Such etiquette, when Sydney saw them, she felt that she was free!
Worse still is the emperor.It doesn't matter if others keep the etiquette, his brothers and sisters are all very happy, although it can't be said that he is pouring him to death, but this one said "brother emperor, my ministers toast you", and the other raised his glass and said " Brother Huang, let's drink three cups in a row"...

This shows that the brother has a good relationship. In front of a crowd of outsiders, let alone throwing people back, he just politely expresses that he doesn't drink and it is easy to make people worry.The best way is to open up and have a drink with them, so that the whole audience will feel that "Your Majesty and the princes are in the same bond", so that everyone can be happy.

So all the palace people in front of the imperial court watched His Majesty excuse himself in the middle of the banquet and then hid in the side hall. After taking the emetics prescribed by the imperial doctor, he vomited unconsciously. Go back to the main hall refreshed and continue.

So when it came to the second time, Sydney felt distressed.It is inevitable that drinking like this will hurt the body, and it is actually difficult to eat well under the banquet, and the injury will be even worse while chatting and drinking.

She remembered that when she was in Shangshi Bureau, every time after the grand palace banquet, His Majesty would lose his appetite for a few days, and they were always worried when they were on duty, and they couldn't help complaining in private how he was so difficult to serve, and made things difficult for others after the festive season .

——After looking at it this way, I know that it is not his fault!If it was her, let alone eating well after binge drinking and vomiting, she would probably be paralyzed on the couch for a few days and not get up, but the emperor still has to go to the morning court and read the memorials, so there is no delay in the business.

so poor……

Xueli felt very sad in her heart, and when the emperor turned back to the side hall for the third time to vomit, she tugged on Xu Shishui's sleeve and pulled him out.

"What's the matter?" Xu Shishui frowned, and was eager to go in - he was busy inside, and he really didn't have time to hang out with her outside.

Xueli also knew that he was in a hurry, so she spoke concisely and quickly: "I won't be staring at the banquet anymore, I will go back to the dining room to make a bowl of porridge for His Majesty, sir, can you persuade His Majesty to eat before going to sleep at night?"

"Hey..." Xu Shishui looked distressed.

He knows what Sydney means. It must be uncomfortable to sleep with a stomach full of wine. If you have been induced to vomit and sleep with an empty stomach and the smell of alcohol lingering on your head, it will be better, and it will not hurt so much. Spleen and stomach, but...

Xu Shishui sighed bitterly: "Forget it. Take a look at what time it is. Your Majesty must be very tired when he goes back. Who dares to talk too much to persuade him to eat?"

Even if he is not the emperor, disturbing a person who is single-minded and sleepy is just asking for scolding, but he is the emperor... this may be courting death.

Xue Li was worried, she understood Xu Shishui's difficulties, but she didn't want His Majesty to feel bad about it, so she hesitated for a while and said: "Then, my lord, see if this is okay... I'll make the porridge, my lord, please tell Master Chen about it, and I'll come back later After entering the Zichen Palace, if Mr. Chen can see the opportunity, he can persuade him a few words, but if he can't, then forget it."

"Tsk." Xu Shishui clicked his mouth. She was saying that Master was more eye-catching than him. She felt uncomfortable and had to admit it. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded, "Okay. You can cook this porridge slowly. If it’s bad, don’t rush to take it out, keep it warm in the pot, when the banquet here is over, I’ll ask someone to rush over to tell you, and you can send it to Zichen Palace.”

"No!" Sydney responded readily, turned around and left.

When she arrived at the dining room, she chose between red bean porridge and shrimp porridge.According to her own taste, she must choose red bean porridge, but Your Majesty does not like sweet food, red bean porridge does not contain sugar and is not very tasty, and it may feel a bit bitter after drinking.

Let's make shrimp porridge, and make it in a casserole.

Sydney started to wash the rice, and took every step very seriously in her heart.

Shrimp was chopped finer than usual, so that he would not be in the mood to chew properly when he was too drunk and too sleepy.The side dish uses diced carrots, which are soft and slightly sweet after being cooked through, making it comfortable to eat.

Jiang Mo didn't want to let it go at first, because he was afraid that he would feel choked if he ate it after drinking.After thinking about it, I still cut out two small slices, which can make it a little fresher.

When the porridge was ready, it was three o'clock in the morning, and the pear had a moderate taste when it was eaten, but Xu Shishui didn't hear the news, so it could only continue to simmer in the casserole on a low fire.

At four quarters, it was overcooked, and every grain of rice was turned over, making it thick and thick. She took out a piece of carrot and put it on the chopping board.

Still after another moment, the imperial eunuch came to say that the banquet was over in the early days of Zishi.

The casserole was taken down, and Xueli quickly put the pot into the food box, and then took an empty bowl and put it in. The eunuch rushed to pick it up, and said to her repeatedly: "Miss, go and have a rest, the little one can just be delivered."

So she wasn't too polite to him, she was so tired that her eyelids were fighting.Tucked some broken silver to him as a thank you, Xue Li basically yawned all the way back.

She didn't even have the strength to take a bath to relieve fatigue. She forced herself to take a simple wash. When changing her pajamas, her tying hands were softened. After covering the quilt, I fell into dreamland.

This time she slept deeply, always enjoyed the dreaming process when she slept, and could always vaguely remember some dreams when she woke up the next day. After opening her eyes, she was surprised to find that she seemed to have half a dream. Didn't do anything, just fell asleep with "blackness in front of my eyes" until the sun was high.

The more I live, the more squeamish I am!I think she was still young when she was in the Shangshi Bureau, and occasionally had to stay up all night for something, but now she really wants to "die in peace"!
Rubbing her eyes and sitting up, Sydney heard laughter outside.

It wasn't the voice of anyone who lived in the yard, it was a very small child.She was dazed in a daze for a while and suddenly came back to her senses...

Ah Yao? !
Feeling bored, she picked up the curtain and wanted to go out to see what was going on.Dou Sha, who had been "squatting" by her threshold for a long time, got up and blocked her back.

Xue Li was even more confused: "A Yao is here?"

"Yeah!" Dou Sha nodded again and again, with a nervous expression, "Today is the birthday of Emperor Ping'an, when His Majesty said that he would see Di Ji in the morning, Mrs. Concubine Shu was busy holding a birthday banquet for Di Ji in Yuehe Palace and couldn't get away. Didn't go to Zichen Palace together... His Majesty brought Di Ji over."

While Dousha was talking, Xueli was looking for suitable clothes in the wardrobe, and she became anxious after hearing her: "This has been here for a while? Why didn't you call me..."

Dou Sha bowed her head: "Your Majesty won't let me."

Well, the emperor took Diji to hang out in the yard, and she slept in the room in the dark.Sydney herself felt that she was a big face as a royal catering official!
Thinking of going out to see the emperor, although she was anxious, she didn't dare to rush to change clothes and wash her hands. As for breakfast, she didn't care about eating. After packing up, she opened the door and went out. When she looked up, she saw the emperor in front of her. under the porch.

Xie Zhao turned his head when he heard the sound of the door, and Xueli bowed his head in blessing: "Your Majesty, rest assured."

He said "hmm" and stretched out his hand to help her, Ah Yao's laughter came again, Xue Li followed the sound, her face turned pale from the fixed gaze.

"Yuxiang!" She frowned and drank in a low voice, the emperor was startled: "...Yuxiang?!"

He looked in the direction of her eyes in a daze. On the other side, Ayao was protected by two wet nurses, and the cub was jumping back and forth in front of her.

... She named a lion "Fish Fragrance"? !

That's a lion! ! !

Xie Zhao looked at her with a complicated expression, but Xue Li didn't notice it, and yelled twice, seeing that Yu Xiang was having fun and ignoring her, she hurried over in a hurry, wanting to hug Yu Xiang over.

It is teething recently, maybe because the process of teething is a bit itchy, it has become very fond of biting things.Whether it's Xiaoquanzi or her, when holding it, it often catches it's arms with its claws and "chuckles" and just bites.

The small white pointed teeth that just emerged from the gums are not sharp, they have never been bitten through - but Ayao is still young!It's so thin and tender, what if it breaks!
With the feeling of "you dare to hurt Ah Yao, I'll make you into a fish-flavored lion", she fiercely grabbed the skin at the back of her neck and took it away. As soon as Yuxiang was picked up by that piece of skin, she felt exhausted , drooping and was carried back to the door of the main room by her.

When she came back, Xie Zhao finally frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you name a lion 'Yuxiang'?"

"Yuxiang mostly uses onions, ginger, garlic, sugar, salt, and soy sauce. After cooking, the soup is mostly its color..." Xueli answered seriously as she looked down at Yuxiang. When she looked up accidentally, she saw the emperor frowning deeply, knowing that it was He was dissatisfied with the name he had chosen.

So she twitched the corners of her mouth, caressed Yu Xiang and lowered her head guiltily: "Your Majesty gave me a name because I called it casually?"

Xie Zhao's expression darkened.

He didn't like the name, but seeing her like this, he felt that "it's good for her to be happy".

It's a gift for her, it doesn't make sense to force her to name it according to his preferences.Besides, I really can't expect her to come up with a domineering name...

It's not bad that she didn't call it "braised lion head" according to the name of "braised lion head"!
After comforting himself, Xie Zhao felt that the name was not bad, and said with a smile, "Yuxiang is very good", while hugging it and putting it on the ground.As soon as Yu Xiang's feet hit the ground, she ran towards A Yao again, seeing that Xue Li was terrified.

"I heard Xiao Quanzi say that it has long teeth and likes to bite people, but just watch it." He said with a smooth smile, and Xue Li was puzzled. When he looked at him, he changed the subject, "Last night The porridge is good."

……Why? !
Xue Li smiled when she heard it: "Your Majesty, have you eaten?"

The emperor nodded: "I ate two bowls."

This was the first time someone persuaded him to eat after he got drunk and vomited miserably. He just wanted to sleep at that time, and Chen Jijiang called "Your Majesty" twice, which annoyed him.

He opened his eyes and stared, but Chen Jijiang leaned over and said, "Sydney made shrimp porridge and brought it here, and said that His Majesty can sleep more comfortably if you eat it while it's hot."

At that time, he frowned in a daze and thought, "What time are you still not sleeping? What kind of porridge are you making!" He stood up and ate with a grim expression, feeling comfortable from his stomach to his heart.

After that, I fell asleep soundly, and woke up dizzy in the morning—after all, I drank so much alcohol.But in comparison, I really feel much better than when I was drunk before.

He sincerely felt that he should come to thank her, but as soon as he said the words, she looked much happier than him, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled, and her eyes seemed to be soaked in honey, which made him look at her for a while Startled slightly, the words were naturally stuck.

"Aww!" Yu Xiang yelled in front of A Yao, Xue Li suddenly turned around and drank it again: "Yu Xiang!"

Yu Xiang turned her head and looked at her puzzled, her eyes were also on it, making Xie Zhao beside him wondering if it was appropriate to say what to say next.After thinking about it for a while, she saw that she was really afraid that Yuxiang would hurt Ayao, so she simply explained this first: "I have been watching for a while, and Yuxiang is very careful with Ayao."

...It still knows to be careful? !

Xueli obviously didn't believe it, and continued to stare intently there, always ready to bring Yuxiang back again.

The emperor, who was choking on the words, raised his eyebrows, feeling a little bit competitive with Yu Xiang in his heart, because she was so angry that she kept staring at Yu Xiang instead of looking at him.

So after waiting for a while, he decided not to wait, and said three words directly: "Thank you."

"...?" Xue Li snapped back to her senses, looked at him in amazement, but didn't realize what he was saying.

In a daze, Yu Xiang yelled at A Yao twice again without pulling her gaze away. The emperor glanced over, raised his eyebrows and smiled triumphantly, and turned her away with his hand on Xue Li's shoulder. Get up and push into the main hall.

In the main hall, the emperor pressed her to sit down, and thanked her solemnly: "Thank you for the porridge, I feel much more comfortable today."

"Oh... that, it's really easy to do, it's okay..." Xueli was awkward, she didn't know how to deal with this kind of thank you, and she didn't understand why he had to block her back into the room before saying that.

Xie Zhao took a sip of the tea that Dou Sha had just served with a warm expression and a smile on his face.He sat with his back to the door and directly facing her. He chose a position slightly to the side, knowing that the position he was sitting in just blocked her view of the north corridor.

——In this way, she will not be able to see Yuxiang.

Xie Zhao couldn't hold back the inexplicable anger, put down the teacup and gritted his teeth, pretending to casually "prompt" her a sentence: "I want to see the fragrance of fish, and the days will be long in the future. Do not eat this."

Xueli froze for a moment before realizing that he was talking about her little rabbit.

Why did you say this suddenly.She raised her eyes and looked at him strangely. She mentioned that once, and she didn't say that he eats other people's pets everywhere!
